Specializing in sexual addiction and trauma work. I bring with me 5+ years of personal addiction recovery along with specialized training in sexual addiction treatment.

I work with adult and adolescent clients suffering with anxiety and depression. I specialize in working with men having difficulties with effective communication, insecurities or low self-esteem, emotional distancing in intimate relationships, and mood issues (depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder), feelings of inadequacy, & expressing feelings. I use a variety of techniques including EMDR and DBT.

As a relationship and marital therapist, my goal is to help you and your partner to rediscover the friendship, connection and passion that initially brought you together as a couple. By applying a set of simple, yet powerful communication techniques and issue resolution strategies, and helping you to design an individualized "relationship plan", we will work together to co-create the relationship of your dreams (a really awesome dream, not a nightmare). Successful couples counseling and marriage therapy significantly improves the communication and thus the emotional connection that you and your partner will feel towards each other. This closer emotional connection then positively impacts all other aspects of your functioning as a couple resulting in a more fulfilling and satisfying relationship for both you and your partner.

I am experienced working with college students, young adults and adolescents. I am adept at supporting clients as they navigate life transitions, stress, relationship issues, self-esteem and life challenges. I practice a Humanistic approach to psychotherapy. This theoretical orientation adopts a holistic approach to human existence. The aim is to help the client approach a stronger and more healthy sense of self. I believe that the client is the expert in their own life experiences and that the therapist can provide a safe and supportive container for the client to explore and make meaning of their strengths and challenges, identify patterns and create healthy change. I view relationships with others as the center of therapeutic treatment. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is essential to the practice of effective therapy.
